Hi Postgres gurus,
Sorry for the cross-comparison once again with oracle.
In oracle query client(sqlplus), I can make a query generic and interactive
with the user by using '&' like:

Select column_name
From table_name
Where column_name='&user_input';

Can I achieve the same functionality in psql?

Also, please suggest me a good document source for the extensive commands of
psql
Thx
--Ranga
